Raids on fake Adidas factories

JAKARTA: A team from the National Police raided a factory at the Pulogadung Industrial Estate and confiscated around 6,500 leather balls illegally bearing the brand name Adidas on Monday.

A similar operation was launched on Jan. 15 by teams of the National Police and the West Java police against Foxy shoe factory and Calvin bag manufacturer in Bandung, West Java. Police seized hundreds of bags and pairs of shoes, all illegally bearing the Adidas brand name.

The operation was conducted following a complaint by Adidas AG, Germany, which is the rightful owner of the brand. (swe)
